Today the 4th FINA World Junior Swimming Championship initiated in Dubai and Aruba was honorably represented by two talented swimmers Jordy Groters y Mikel Schreuders. Both of them competed in the 100m Breaststroke event among 68 swimmers from around the world.
despite not swimming his best time Mikel still did a tremendous job. he falls in the youngest category, seeing that he has to compete against swimmers born in '95 - '96 & '97. Mikel falls under the '98 category. He finished in 54th place among the 68 swimmers. We are sure he will be much stronger by tomorrow and ready to give a tremendous performance.
Jordy achieved something historic. For the first time he becomes the athlete who qualifies for the Youth Olympic Games 2014. He improved his time from 1:04.78 to 1:04.28, making a National Record in 100 m Breaststroke. Jordy finished in 27th place among 68 swimmers from around the world.
Congratulations to both swimmers, family, coaches & the Aruban community are very happy with the tremendous achievement of these two swimmers.
